ELI TERRY PILLAR & SCROLL SHELF CLOCK.

Revised: 2/4/2010

Correction: The works are wood, not brass as indicated.

ELI TERRY PILLAR & SCROLL SHELF CLOCK. Circa 1800. Of typical form, the mahogany case with swan’s neck cresting centering three urn form brass finials above the rectangular case flanked by mahogany colonettes, the door with clear glass upper panel and an eglomise lower panel decorated with two homes of the period within a gilt foliate border and an ivory diamond escutcheon, on a molded base with shaped scalloped apron raised on fine tapered French feet. The back of the case retains a large portion of the original paper label marked “PATENT CLOCKS / INVENTED BY / ELI TERRY”. The painted wood dial with scrolling gilt spandrels centering an Arabic numeral chapter ring, further centering a painted floral basket above time and strike apertures. We believe the brass works are original to the clock. Clock is sold with weights, pendulum bob, winder and three brass finials. SIZE: 31-1/2″ h overall x 17-1/2 w of case x 4-3/4″ d. CONDITION: The case with early, if not original, finish. Brass finials appear to be original, as is the eglomise panel. Panel with paint loss. Swan’s neck pediment with repair. Small piece of upper half round molding missing. Otherwise very good overall. 9-98377 (600-900)
